Hey Gremlin people.
After thinking about which engine to build. I happened to be at my 
Moms talking to my stepdad and told him I thought about going from 
my sbc to a Caddy and My Mom and stepdad got a weird look and kinda 
chuckled. I wasnt sure what was going on, so I asked why they was 
laughing and Mom broke dwn and told me that if I didnt build that 
Damn motor I had in the garage, She was gonna choke me! Turns out 
that my stepdad found a few good deals on some odd and end new parts 
for the sbc and Mom got them already for Christmas for me. So I 
guess for my safety, Im keeping my block, crank N rods to build up 
my sbc.
Now for a question. Ive been shopping on ebay and I found some parts 
Im wanting, but need your oppinion.
Im building a stout 350, bored 030 over, steel crank, steel rods. Im 
wanting to use flat top pistons with aftermarket Dart or Pro 
lightning big valve heads to get 10-1 comp. Im wanting to use a port 
matched Victor Jr with a Holley Avenger 770 carb, electronic 
ignition, ect...
My Gremlin is tubbed with 18.5 inch tires, 4.56 gears and I have a 2 
speed glide and Im getting a 3000+ stall convertor. The car with me 
weighs around 2700lbs.
Will a comp cam 305 grind be ok for street cruising? And I found new 
pistons on Ebay, never installed that a guy is selling , but they 
have a few stains(discoloration) from setting in a box in his 
garage. Will they be okay? Will the stain bother anything and can it 
be cleaned up?
Im thinking with the lite weight of my car, I can run more of an 
upper rpm setup and reduce low end traction problems and really wont 
be out any low end power due to the weight ratio. Any thoughts? Rod
